...know, as we all do, that stars don't end up on a reality show - even a mainstream, wholesome one like DWTS - at the height of their powers. Liddell is taking a break from fighting, Carter is trying to put some tabloid antics behind him, and Natalie Coughlin is a swimmer - most recognizable when wearing a skull-hugging cap.

As Mark Silk, professor of religion at Trinity College, has written, Ryan was not only known as "the Right Rev.

Ryan's participation in the Inauguration helped insulate Roosevelt against Coughlin's attacks and shore up the growing - and critical - voting bloc of Catholic Democrats...

Like TYR, Speedo also received feedback from swimmers, including Australia's Grant Hackett, Americans Natalie Coughlin, Ryan Lochte and, of course, Mr. Phelps.
